Processing the Firewood 

You can start processing firewood as soon as you have familiarised yourself with all 
safety precautions given above for the safe operation of the machine. Remember that 

a test run must always be carried out before starting actual operation

 
1. Adjust the revolutions of the tractor's power take-off to 410 rpm.  
2. Place the wood measuring device rod in the desired position (see page 16).  
3. Place the splitting blade in the desired vertical position (see page 15). 
 

                                        

 

 
 
 
 
 
7.  Calmly  push  the  cradle  forward  and  keep  pushing  it  until  it  reaches  its  extreme 
position.  The cut wood remains in the trough formed by the cradle and the machine 
frame.    
 
 

                                      

 

 

4. Pull the splitting cradle to 
its rear position. Note! 
Always do this when 
transferring wood for 
cutting. 
5. Lift the wood into the 
cross-cut cradle. 

Observe 

the proper lifting position 
and mind your back (see 
page 20)!

 

6. Transfer the wood against 
the length limiter. 

9. The cut wood drops 
down into the splitting 
chute and hits the 
automatic splitting release 
lever, which triggers the 
hydraulic splitting 
movement. 

8. Calmly pull back the 
cross-cut cradle.
